The seventh edition of Le Show de la Réussite presented to the benefit of the evenko foundation for emerging talent recently took place in an atmosphere of great excitement at Théâtre Maisonneuve de La Place des Arts.

The show staged by director Olivier Loubry, under the musical direction of Antoine Gratton, brought together 250 young people from the Arts-Études program. Several famous artists from the Quebec artistic community, including Louis-Jean Cormier, Alex Nevsky, Corneille, Gabriella, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Brigitte Boisjoli and Valerie Carpentier, with the special collaboration of the Backstage troupe, helped raise an impressive $ 306,555.

"The evenko foundation's Show de la Réussite seeks to recognize the efforts of young people who persevere in their studies while developing their artistic talents ", said Roman Oryschuk, chairman of the evenko foundation. "This immense celebration on stage is also an important fundraiser for the evenko foundation to fund its many initiatives with young people and emerging talents in Quebec. We are particularly grateful to all the artists who have met the young people and shared their passion in class and on stage. "

"The atmosphere was electric, and the scene filled with talent. It was great to see the pride in the faces of the students sharing the stage with the renowned artists, as well as the faces of the members of their families in attendance. I am very grateful to all the artists who have supported our young people and who have in turn become ambassadors for the evenko foundation ", added Anne-Marie Withenshaw, spokeperson for the evenko foundation.
